i'm toying with a new thread too. current one is all about my mortgage and OH's debt and my plans to pay down as much as possible to move. Now moving is a reality and I have a MF target of December 2020 I guess I should start a new and focused thread. I plucked a financial target of £2011 in 2011 as a mix of vouchers, survey cash and cashback.MF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:MFW 2012 no86 OP 0/2000

If you do start new threads put links on your current ones so I don't miss them!
I think it's brilliant we are getting so focused for next year. I don't think many of our outgoings will change during 2011 (baby depending) but I do get an incremental payrise in April so that should help!
I think a 'money neutral christmas' is a fab idea. I haven't budgeted at all for it this year and now wonder I have about £50 to last us 2 weeks! None on CC tho and paid out £150 for DH present and he treated himself to COD black ops out of joint account (will be knocking that of next months spends for him!!!) I am so mean!
Do you do BingoPort Michelle, Pam introduced me to it and I think it's a fab way of accruing vouchers to use for presents.
Looking forward to some more kichen pics and don't worry -the washing machine will sell Nov 2025 - part 1 - £13,878 part 2 - £20,953 Total - £34,832 24 months to go!0 -

Mmmm, nice black worktops :TA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0
